[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 3918236, member: 5142"] While the changes between 3.5 & 4.0 we have heard about thus far may appear to be quite dynamically different, when one expands their look at the d20 market and not just D&D, the changes really are not that drastic or unexpected. I think that WotC did not just look at D&D 3.5 and ask what was wrong with it, but also looked at all of the 3rd Party products that were getting nothing but praise and asking "What are they doing that we are not?" These products included Arcana Evolved, Iron Heroes, many Green Ronin products, etc. that took the existing sacred cows of D&D and threw some of them completely out of the window and then expanded the abilities and concepts of D&D in ways that WotC could not since they had to maintain their system. Then as Compton said, D&D began to experiment and incorporate some of these ideas in the ToM and Bo9S supplements and then again in Star Wars Saga Edition. [/QUOTE]
